StaticResource master in PRISM Module

Question

I'm developing a LOB app in Silverlight using PRISM. I've got several modules that I'm loading on demand.

In these moduels I want to style common parts with a "master" resource dict that I have in the Shell project. This works when I build the project but it's kinda hard to design layout in the designer in VS because the StaticResource is not recognized.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way?

Answer 1

The VS2010 designer is good for really simple things, but if you want a tool perfect for that you should try Expression Blend. And yes, you can open your vs2010 project there :)
